Last week ahead of the NFL Super Bowl LIV, UFC welterweight champion Usman and BMF title holder Masvidal engaged in an altercation on Radio Row in Miami. The two exchanged heated words and had to be separated. The confrontation did not get physical.

Jorge Masvidal solidified himself as the ‘baddest mother f*cker’ in the fight game late last year with a welterweight victory over Nate Diaz. ‘Gamebred’ is one of the OG’s of mixed martial arts and has shown little to no fear when taking on some of the most elite combatants to ever step foot in the cage.

Jorge Masvidal has spoken out regarding an interesting chat that he had with Nick Diaz’s manager as he looks ahead to a huge year in 2020. Masvidal, who had a phenomenal 3-0 year in 2019, is the current and inaugural holder of the BMF Championship. Regardless of whether or not he winds up defending that belt this year, he’s almost certainly going to play a huge role in the UFC Welterweight Championship picture.

Conor McGregor is back in the win column, thanks to a 40-second drubbing of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and the fight community is already wondering who he’ll fight fight next. While McGregor has plenty of options for his next bout, it’s arguable the most compelling matchup available to him at present is streaking welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal. At this stage, Masvidal has undeniably earned a crack at UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. But with Usman nursing an injury, it’s been suggested that he could meet McGregor in a lucrative fight in the meantime — perhaps even with an interim title on the line.

UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal doesn’t take crap from anyone. He proved that when he brawled with Leon Edwards at last year’s UFC London card. If there was any remaining doubt about the kind of guy Masvidal is, however, a recent story from Chael Sonnen should dispel it.
